Characterization of Fuel Rods Supported by Dimple‐Less Spacer Grids and Subjected to Nonlinear Vibrations

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT An experimental campaign was undertaken to demonstrate the applicability of the Bouc–Wen hysteretic model to describe the hysteretic system of the recent Framatome dimple‐less spacer grid design for Pressurized Water Reactors. The experimental setup subjected a reduced‐length fuel rod, supported at both ends by dimple‐less grids, to forced ...

Systematic Parameter Selection for Short Fiber Polymer Composite Direct Fiber Simulation

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Interactions of individually simulated fibers are systematically calibrated such that their orientation history agrees with the results from analytical orientation models. ABSTRACT The orientation of fibers in short discontinuous fiber reinforced polymer composites is a critical factor in determining final mechanical and thermal properties.

Exploring the Tribological Properties of 3D Printed Polymer Composites: An Experimental Study

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Tribological pin‐on‐disc testing of FDM‐manufactured pins. Pins made from PLA, TPU, bronze‐filled PLA (BRO), and their combinations were tested against a SAE 1020 steel disc to evaluate friction, wear, and surface morphology. ABSTRACT In recent years, additive manufacturing, especially 3D printing, has been gaining more space in the production of parts

Solid Particle Erosion and Predictive Modeling of Epoxy Composites Reinforced With Diatom Frustules

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Schematic representation of the solid particle erosion process and predictive modeling workflow for diatom frustule‐reinforced epoxy composites, illustrating the test setup, erosion response curve, and filler‐matrix interaction. ABSTRACT This study examines the solid particle erosion wear behavior of epoxy composites reinforced with 5–20 wt% calcined ...

Modeling Fiber Dispersion in a Single‐Screw Extruder for Long Fiber‐Reinforced Thermoplastics

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Fiber dispersion throughout the screw channel ABSTRACT Understanding the mechanics of fiber attrition during the plasticizing process is important in predicting the strength of long fiber‐reinforced thermoplastics (LFT) composites. Fiber dispersion has been found to impact fiber damage during processing and therefore final fiber length in the final ...
